FIREFIGHTERS in Holmes Chapel and Middlewich scrubbed up nicely at their charity car washes.

Drivers turned out in force at the Holmes Chapel station in London Road and the Middlewich station in Lewin Street to support the Fire Fighters Charity while officers, cadets and teams of helpers got to work with their buckets and sponges.

Firefighters also handed out road safety advice.

Chairman of the Fire Fighters Charity and deputy chief fire officer Mark Cashin said: “Firefighters, cadets and helpers would like to thank residents for their generosity following their charity car wash.

“It is testament to the support we have from the public when events such as this show how generous people can be.

“It costs more than £9m every year to keep The Fire Fighters Charity running, and with no government funding, it is completely reliant on donations from the general public and fire community.”

The monies from each event are still being counted.
